[Verse 1] I learned to eat my breakfast standing With one shoe halfway on A baby crying, coffee cooling And another day already gone Every dream got folded smaller Just to fit between the lines I made room for everybody But I never had the time [Chorus] I never had the time Till I was almost out of it Now every minute’s made of gold And I mean to spend all of it The coffee takes its sweet time I let the good part last Now I’m almost out of time And time is all I have [Verse 2] Five kids calling from the backseat A long day’s work still left to go I was strong enough to carry So I carried every load I kept saying, “When it settles” Like the world would fall in line But tomorrow filled before it came And I never had the time [Chorus] I never had the time Till I was almost out of it Now every minute’s made of gold And I mean to spend all of it The coffee takes its sweet time I let the good part last Now I’m almost out of time And time is all I have [Verse 3] Now I know the sound of morning Before the whole world starts to ring I can sit and watch a cardinal Flash his red against the green If the ones I love come calling They can stay the afternoon I don’t squeeze life between things I let living fill the room [Bridge] I don’t need another lifetime I just need to feel this one Warm hands around the table The last light of the sun Let tomorrow come tomorrow Today is where I’ll be There’s a whole life in a minute When you give it room to breathe [Final Chorus] I never had the time Till I was almost out of it Now every minute’s made of gold And I mean to spend all of it The coffee takes its sweet time I let the good part last Now I’m almost out of time And time is all I have [Outro] Every heartbeat, every laugh Every second moving past I never had the time Now time is all I have
